“You mean we’re targeting the child of a statesman?” Captain Feroman asked, feeling troubled.

At this moment, he finally understood the severity of the consequences. If he had known that the target had such a background, he would never have attacked.

Given their style of action, they usually killed all witnesses to avoid becoming fugitives. If they killed David, it would be tantamount to going against the entire Star Federation. Those who returned from Battlestar alone would be able to kill them.

He suspected that killing David would involve cosmic warships that would hunt them down.

“Stop all contact with the outside world. We’ll move to a second safe house and hide there for a while,” Captain Feroman said, finally coming to a decision.

He no longer wanted to recover the T3 Sniper Assist Device. Hence, he decided to let that sum of money be the compensation for the losses of the statesman’s child!

Clark nodded heavily. He was extremely supportive of the decision. He was a veteran soldier who had returned from Battlestar, and the statesmen were heroes in his heart. He couldn’t help but be thankful for the failure of the mission.

Ed and Fessier were in support of that decision as well. Now that everyone was looking for them, it was best that they stay in hiding for a while.

Not long after the four people from the Sky Wolf Mercenary Corps left, eight armor-bearers surrounded the building.

Now that news on the Sky Wolf Mercenary Corps was of great value, the intelligence peddlers would not let go of any chance to get rich.

In fact, things were more serious than Captain Feroman had thought. Since they had undergone regular, legal procedures when entering Planet Rocky, the investigations naturally traced back to them.

Previously, Abbott had crashed into nearly a hundred people, which was also interpreted as an attack on David, the son of a statesman. They ignored the fact that Abbott was flying a personal aircraft with no capabilities of attacking, and that David was a senior high school student whom Abbott had never met before.

Anyway, the entire Sky Wolf Mercenary Corps had been given such a label and all the members were exposed. They were likely to become highly wanted fugitives.

——————————

David placed his hand on the shoulder of the Shadow Servant and a familiar wave of energy flowed from the Shadow Servant into his body, causing him to begin moaning involuntarily. It was a type of spiritual relief.

Perhaps because the energy this time was not as large as the previous time, but he did not pass out. Instead, he truly felt the sensations that it brought to him.

After the soothing sensation had passed, he felt as if his brain had been rinsed with water.

“Display my attribute panel!” he ordered the Shadow Servant, which obeyed.

Name: David Karl

Strength: 2.52 (1)

Agility: 1.7 (1)

Physique: 2.1 (1)

Mental Energy: 3.0 (1)

Literature (3% Intermediate), Mathematics (5% Intermediate), General (51% Beginner), Bodywork (99% Beginner), Longsword Mastery (5% Beginner)

His Mental Energy had increased by 0.2 arbitrary units, and he was now 100% sure that the Shadow Servant had absorbed the souls of Amos and the female mercenary, and had fed him some of his soul energy, thus increasing his Mental Energy.

He didn’t know what effect the Mental Energy attribute had, but he knew that it allowed his learning speed to increase.

“Let me see how many Knowledge Orbs Amos and the female mercenary have given me,” David mumbled under his breath, extremely to see the answer.

He had been trying to perform experiments to confirm some suspicions before, but the Shadow Servant had to absorb souls to get Knowledge Orbs. Where was he supposed to look for corpses that belonged to people who had just died?
